The Woodstock Police Service Auxiliary Unit is made up of dedicated community volunteers who work alongside police officers to enhance public safety and community well-being.
These volunteers play a vital role in strengthening the connection between the police and the public through active participation in community events, safety initiatives, and patrol support.
Each year, our Auxiliary members contribute thousands of volunteer hours — assisting with events, supporting operations, and promoting positive community engagement.
Their commitment reflects the values of service, teamwork, and civic pride that define the Woodstock Police Service.
